Fresh manual frugal install on the old P4 test box. No problems....everything working well ootb.

For whatever reason every release with a 3.8.X kernel has a problem detecting and/or mounting flash drives on my older hardware (in particular my main Athlon XP box) but no such trouble on newer boxes.Or maybe it's a problem with AMD. Anyway...no problems on this box.

Edited: Ok Pemasu, I link it now. Thank you, I realize now that the problem is the virtualbox, after I copied 3 files: vmlinuz, initrd.gz, and the .sfs into a folder, and I modified menu.lst. and this puppy walk without problem.
Thank you for this great puppy!

I know nothing about virtualboxes and virtual machines. For me...only way is that I get more reports of the succes or failure and also suggestions...if there is something wrong with kernel or base build.

Hi Pemasu,
excuse me for this message but I can't compile rts5229 driver in Upup precise 3.8.2., that instead compiles it regularly in Upup 3.7.2 and 3.2.29.
I don't know why... perhaps I need something else?
I installed devx.sfs and kernel source.sfs, MAKE command works but...

Fabio T. Your missing module or compile problem finding has revealed more serious problem with multifunction, memory stick and sdhc cards. it seems I have missed some vital modules.
Compiling them afterwards is not possible. The compiled modules are not compatible, there is symbol errors which means they are not accepted by this kernel.
Okay. The missing modules are crucial enough that I will recompile the kernel and then I will create new build.

Now comes the question. Should I update to the 3.8.3 kernel. It has a lot fixes. For example radkys needed somewhat broken tg3 has been fixed in it straight and I suppose there as some other important fixes also.
I think I do the decision tomorrow. If someone has opinion or knowledge, the arena is all yours.
